When we live in a physical body, we must take care of that body. It’s not enough to simply want to find a little bit of peace, we must develop this aspiration of Bodhicitta, a real genuine level of Bodhicitta. In this, we are committed to awakening, which is really having an open heart and mind, which means opening ourselves up to reality, rather than living in a fantasy world.
On this day, I pray that we all awaken. We can still be part of the world; the trick is that we simply abandon the insanity of it. We find a way to discover true sanity. If we enter the Spiritual Path, developing genuine Bodhicitta, then awakening will most certainly follow.
Blessings in Light,
